RC
Models is the
personal website of Franz Zammit Haber. Sub-titled The Maltese
Modeller's Web Site, it is a wonderful collection of model flight
material of all sorts, with an emphasis on Franz's main area of interest,
namely scale modelling.

The features on My
Projects and More Projects and Pics are at the heart of the
site and here you can read about and view some of the large fleet of scale
models that Franz has built, lost, sold or kept over the years. There
are pages dedicated to specific models, like the Cessna 310 that was on
the opening screen of #56 and a great De Havilland Beaver story.

In
addition, Franz has features on Hints, Tips and How-to's, a picture
gallery relating to the Wings over Ta' Quali '98 event held on
Malta when Hanna Prettner was guest of honour, specifications, pictures
and flying report on one of his latest additions to his large-scale model
aircraft fleet, a 100" Raven(thumbnail, right), and
his latest major project, a Zirolli Stuka which he hopes to have
complete by October this year, as well as a useful publications list and
links to friends' web sites.

This is one of those
sites which doesn't have a main menu as such, instead you will just keep
finding links and subject headings to something new as you work your way
down the home page. There's loads of good stuff, and it is a great site
to explore.

If you are
into control line flying or just want to find out more about it, this
site is an absolute 'must' for you to visit! To me, it almost seems the
definitive source on all things control line. As you see from the title
of the site, it comes from Australia where control line flying is certainly
very much alive and kicking.

The
site is published by Dave Kidd in conjunction with BriStunt
Products, a control line mail order business, and is chock full of
articles on this type of flying.

The homepage
itself is an article on control line aerobatic or stunt flying, with details
of the standard manoeuvres. Everything is set out very systematically,
with a nice collection of pictures accompanying the text. Other pages
cover classic and vintage competition flying in just the same way - again,
all nicely illustrated.

Elsewhere
on the site you will find Pattern rules fully set out. There's a list
of Australian National Champions since 1950, information on engines and
a great account of American aerobatic expert Bob Palmer's visit
to the Ku-Ring-Gai Model flying Club in May 2000 - clearly a memorable
occasion (that's Bob on the right).

For those
who know what they are talking about, there's a Control Line Forum on
the site and some useful links, including one to Dave's other atmosphere-filled
site, Australian Control Line Nostalgia, which was reviewed on ModelFlight
on siteseeing
